Trey Lance

Lance's gain is Rush's financial loss

Rush, who had started every game since Dak Prescott's hamstring injury, was replaced as the starter by Trey Lance vs. the Commanders

Trey Lance played decently in his first Dallas Cowboys start -- a 23-19 loss to the Washington Commanders -- in their 2024 NFL season finale.

The Cowboys traded for Lance, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, before the 2023 season but hadn't yet started him in a game.

Lance got the call for his first start in 28 months after spending the season as the Cowboys' No. 3 quarterback. He got off to a fast start, tossing a floater to Jalen Tolbert for 31 yards as his first completion. However, the Cowboys offense floundered the rest of the game, failing to finish many drives in an ultimate loss. Lance played four games in 2024, ending his fourth NFL season as a reserve quarterback with 266 passing yards, one interception, and no touchdowns. The Cowboys have decisions to make with their backup quarterback spot as both Lance and Cooper Rush are set to hit free agency. We have only seen one start from Lance in over two years, making it difficult for him to have any sort of fantasy relevancy moving forward.
